I planed to build a light nymphing rod since last year. Karl Bartsch showed me some 11 foot 3 wt blanks and had the opportunity to cast a switch rod built by him on one of this blanks. It felt light and powerful at the same time. I took one of them with me and during the first month of the year I managed to get all the needed components to build up the rod.
The coffee & milk banded agate guide is from "Perfect Agate Guides" (Ernest Oczos), a real gem. I used a reel seat with a striped inlay from "Hilevel". Rest of the components are from "Karl Bartsch". This is the final result and I can't wait to catch the first fish with it.
